Can anything be done by us, the people, to break the monopoly. What's being done now? This seems like a major problem experienced by the few at the detriment to the many. In the very least information sharing of medical research would justify government intervention.

As is always the case for policy change, it would require lots of people arguing the case to the relevant government agency, as money is more important these than the general good.
